Kibō no Tō

Kibō no Tō is a conservative political party in Japan that was founded by Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike ahead of the 2017 general election. Koike supported economic liberalism, administrative and budgetary reform, the advancement of the status of women in the working world, environmentalism, nationalism, hawkish foriegn and security policies, and the advancement of Japanese pop culture (such as anime). Kibō no Tō had nearly identical views to the ruling Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, from which it split, but Kibō no Tō supported environmentalism (such as the anti-nuclear movement), while the LDP supported nuclear energy.
